His and Hers

There are a lot of unisex clothes. Jeans, T-shirts and polo shirts are good examples of these. Girls walk around in unisex clothes all the time. I raided Slash-M's closet when he left the country and wore his shirts. (Thanks again, btw.)

If you REALLY think about it, ladies can wear jeans that boys wear, but there are ladies jeans which surely no male would be caught dead or alive wearing. There are sport shirts for girls which boys would definitely never wear (unless they are a tad confused over their sexuality -- check out BB Gandanghari if you dare).

So how does one know if something is FOR HIM or FOR HER?

Often it is the style.

Take long sleeved shirts, for instance. Men's shirts would normally be straight while the ones for the ladies would be tailored and shaped to enhance her figure.

It can also be the brand.

Here is Onesimus versus Anne Klein.

However, the most obvious one is the location of the buttons.

Men button left over right while women right over left.

Sunshine had a funny story about that. Being a first-time mother, everything about motherhood was new to her. One day, in spite baby Ronald wearing a plain neutral colored shirt, the lady at their daycare center asked, "Did you realize he's wearing a girl's shirt?"

And THAT is when my dear sister learned about left over right versus right over left.

Of course if it were a baby girl, the person would probably have let those baby buttons pass.

By and large, "What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine." (So there!)
